Outfit Maker: The Blazer

Have you heard? Blazers have been fearlessly conquering the (fashion) world this season. Whether it’s an oversized fit or structured cut with bold, throw-back shoulders, the menswear-inspired topper is commanding both the runways and the streets. Not only does it effortlessly emit a pulled-together-yet-effortlessly-cool vibe, but the blazer is also incredibly versatile. A good one can transport you from office attire to after hours, all depending on how you style it. Whether one is already hanging in your closet or if you’re needing inspo for an upgrade, scroll below to see seven ways to style the apex wardrobe staple this winter & beyond.

1. Office Hours

The grey plaid blazer is a street style darling, and to make it work-ready, pair with a pencil skirt and sock-style ankle boots. It’s a professional yet incredibly stylish look.

2. Hot White

Both polished and perfectly casual, a crisp white blazer works for any season (especially when worn with straight-leg denim and kitten heels—love!). Plus, wherever you’re headed, this outfit miraculously feels very appropriate at any occasion.

3. The After Party

Did somebody say girl’s night? Hit the club in a gold blazer and strappy heels and you’ll be sure to bypass the line.
